River Ave. Blues ยป Marchand: Rangers inquired about Cano earlier this season

Marchand: Rangers inquired about Cano earlier this season

The Uncertainty of Michael Pineda
Thursday Night Open Thread

Via Andrew Marchand: The Rangers called the Yankees and asked about Robinson Cano’s availability earlier this season, but New York told them he wasn’t available and talks never got off the ground. We heard some unknown teams inquired about Robbie before the trade deadline.

Cano, 30, hit .314/.383/.516 (142 wRC+) with 27 homers in 160 games this season, his seventh straight year of at least 159 games played. The Yankees have already offered him a seven-year, $161M contract and figure to climb higher to get a deal done at some point this winter. A half-season of Cano is still worth a ton — Texas probably would have avoided a tiebreaker game if they had him instead of Mitch Moreland (with Ian Kinsler moving to first), for example — so the Yankees could have asked for quite a bit. Jurickson Profar for three months of Cano? Martin Perez? No reason to take anything less.
